I usually don't really like the music behind preaching on videos like this, but this is too good to pass (the preaching I mean, not the music, well, I like the music too but, you know what I mean).

To a kingdom built upon lies, nothing is more dangerous than the Truth.

I just finished doing algebra for several hours so my mind is a little fried right now but I don't really get this video. I'm assuming that this is supposed to be an evangelistic video. If so, where is the Gospel? Seems to be all imperatives and no indicatives.
It seems to me to be the kind of thing that Keller said would puff up the older brother and devastate the younger brother.
Like I said I am not running on all cylinders at the moment so maybe I'm just hearing it wrong. I would love to know what your thought are.
I am with Chris.
One can be weighed down with legalism, obsession with right "doctrine", submerged in western "churchiness" or any number of things and say "amen, brother" to this type of preaching--much like the pharisee of Luke 18, thinking he understood the things of God when in reality he did not.
Mr. Martin never mentions what it is to do the will of God, what it means to seek first his kingdom.
This was a sermon preached to people who have sat in pews (or comfy, cool couches) their whole lives claiming to be Christians while hearing the Gospel every Sunday and living as if there were no God watching. I think it would devistate the older brother. Knowing they don't show fruit of saving faith, they hold to their self rightousness.
The first thing he says is "saving faith is the desperate thrust of a helpless soul..." The people who this is intended for don't see themselves as helpless souls. Why would they need to have faith in Jesus when they are such good people?
If my memory serves me right, Jesus never mentions what it is to do the will of his Father in his sermon, does he?
With that said, I do wish, whoever made this video, would have included the Gospel because younger brothers would see this too.
YES! It worked!!!
